I am not a Tiger sailor, but noticed that the Tigers cleaned up at Eurocat in a field of 125 F18's....see results below! It probably also helped to have sailors like Bundock/Ashby and Mischa Heemskerk holding the tiller!

Kylea, I own a Hobie in order get spare parts fast and I like the relation with my Hobie dealer. From personal experience, I however do have the feeling that the Infusion is slightly faster than the Tiger, at least at lighter winds upwind and with heavier winds downwind. If sailors like Bundock/Ahsby, Heemskerk, Booth, or the top french teams do win races, for me it is not an argument that the platform is faster, as this posts seems to indicate. How about "Bundock/Ahsby, Heemskerk etc," victorious at Eurocat?

ps. Bundock/Ashby figure in the participants lists, as well as you. Hope to meet you here in Spain!

Yep, it looks like hiring the right guys is more cost effective than developing a faster boat.

Ding Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner! Last year's winner of Eurocat, correct me if I'm wrong, was Mischa Heemskerk, on a Nacra Infusion. This year's winner, on a Tiger, is...Mischa Heemskerk. Wow, boat or sailor? hmmmmmmmm

Well Pointed out.

For most of us sailing a "Brand Manufactured" boat is our preferred preference, for others they are paid to perform.

Hobie, Nacra, Capricorn all have been strong performers in the Australia F18 Fleets.
